Dover’s historic town hall on Biggin Street has released a schedule of more than 30 events running from April 2026 to July 2027, with tickets ranging from free entry to £45.
Maison Dieu — Dover Town Hall to most people — will host tea dances, quiz nights, line dancing, heritage talks, workshops, concerts and tribute nights across the 15-month run. The venue sits on Biggin Street in the centre of town, CT16 1DL.
It kicks off with a Tea Dance on Wednesday 1 April 2026 and closes, rather grandly, with “George & Elton – The Hits” on Saturday 17 July 2027.
Some events are free. Those include a set by The City Suits, a Divali Celebration, and Rise and Thrive 2. Other events carry a ticket price — the Dover Family Carol Concert, for instance, is listed from £5.50, so it is worth checking current booking details before you attend.
Paid events include the Maison Dieu Quiz Night, a willow basket weaving workshop, a Mayor’s Parlour tour, a Christmas wreath-making workshop and a production of Sleeping Beauty by Great British Pantos. Acts across the programme include The Ratzkins, Sound Waves Choir and User Friendly, alongside tribute nights covering Barbra Streisand, Gladys Knight and Donna Summer. Something for most tastes, then.
Heritage runs through much of the schedule. Talks and tours take in Dover’s gaol, St Martin, and the Maison Dieu building itself. And on Saturday 3 October 2026, a “Stories of Dover and the World” event marks Black History Month.
The supplied listing has some formatting inconsistencies. Check the venue’s own booking pages for the latest on availability, concessions and accessibility before attending.
